Dry Type Oil Type

Low in Maintenance Low Noise Levels

Indoor Applications Outdoor Applications
Limitation on Transformer Capacity Repairable
Easy Maintenance
Noise Levels are higher than Oil Type Transformers
Insensitive to harsh environmental conditions No limitations on Capacity / Rating
Sensitive to handling damages Easy to dismantle and dispatch
In terms of cost, this is costlier than oil type spares readily available with many
transformers suppliers
High Losses Low Losses
